Leviticus 5
1 And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
“Si tú pecas por no suministrar las pruebas necesarias en un caso legal, ya sea que tú mismo hayas visto o escuchado algo al respecto, eres responsable de tu culpabilidad.
2 Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcass of an unclean beast, or a carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
Si tocas algo sucio como el cadáver de un animal salvaje impuro o animales de granja o bichos, incluso si no eres consciente de ello, serás impuro y culpable.
3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled with, and it be hid from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.
Si tocas algo sucio de alguien que es sucio, incluso si no eres consciente de ello, serás culpable.
4 Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
Si juras imprudentemente hacer algo, (ya sea bueno o malo, y de cualquier manera que la gente pueda jurar impulsivamente), incluso si no eres consciente de que está mal, cuando finalmente te das cuenta, serás culpable.
5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing:
“Si te vuelves culpable de una de estas formas, debes confesar tu pecado,
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD for his sin which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
y debes llevar tu ofrenda de culpa de un cordero o cabra hembra al Señor como una ofrenda por tu pecado. El sacerdote expiará tu pecado.
7 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he has committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
Si no te alcanza para comprar un cordero, puedes ofrecer al Señor como compensación por tu pecado dos tórtolas o dos palomas jóvenes, una como ofrenda por el pecado y otra como holocausto.
8 And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
Debes llevarlos al sacerdote, quien presentará el primero como la ofrenda por el pecado. Él debe arrancarle la cabeza del cuello sin quitarla completamente.
9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.
Luego debe rociar parte de la sangre de la ofrenda por el pecado en el lado del altar mientras el resto de la sangre es derramada en la base del altar. Es una ofrenda por el pecado.
10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he has sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
El sacerdote debe entonces preparar la segunda tórtola como holocausto según las normas. De esta manera el sacerdote te justificará por tus pecados, y serás perdonado.
11 But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil on it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
“Si no te alcanza para comprar dos tórtolas o dos pichones, puedes traer un décimo de efa de la mejor harina como ofrenda por el pecado. No le pongas aceite de oliva o incienso, porque es una ofrenda por el pecado.
12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire to the LORD: it is a sin offering.
Llévala al sacerdote, que tomará un puñado como ‘recordatorio’ y lo quemará en el altar sobre las ofrendas quemadas al Señor. Es una ofrenda por el pecado.
13 And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he has sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest’s, as a meat offering.
Así es como el sacerdote expiará cualquiera de estos pecados que hayas cometido, y serás perdonado. El resto de la ofrenda pertenecerá al sacerdote, al igual que la ofrenda de grano”.
14 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
El Señor le dijo a Moisés:
15 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass to the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with your estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
“Si alguno de ustedes descuida involuntariamente todo lo que el Señor ha declarado que le pertenece y es santo, debes llevar tu ofrenda de culpabilidad al Señor: un carnero sin defectos de tu rebaño o sólo uno de valor equivalente en siclos de plata (según el estándar del siclo del santuario). Es una ofrenda por la culpa.
16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he has done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it to the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
En cuanto a cualquier requisito sagrado que no hayas aportado, debes pagar una compensación añadiéndole un quinto de su valor y luego dárselo al sacerdote, que lo arreglará con el carnero como ofrenda por la culpa, y serás perdonado.
17 And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he knew it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
Si pecas y quebrantas alguno de los mandamientos del Señor, aunque no seas consciente de ello, sigues siendo culpable y asumes la responsabilidad de tu culpa.
18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and knew it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
Debes llevar al sacerdote un carnero sin defectos y de valor apropiado como ofrenda de culpabilidad. Entonces expiará por ti el mal que hiciste en la ignorancia, y serás perdonado.
19 It is a trespass offering: he has certainly trespassed against the LORD.
Es una ofrenda de culpa porque fuiste culpable en lo que concierne al Señor”.
